Kieron Pollard

The West Indian looks like the most unthreatening of bowlers but over the years, he has become a vital cog in the wheel for his team's bowling unit. Although he looks like a fast bowler, he bowls slow mediums that are often quite hard to hit and if the pitch is on the slower side, then it becomes an uphill battle.

Pollard mixes it up as well and often alters the length by bowling from a few feet behind the crease. In 101 ODIs, he has claimed 50 wickets at an economy rate of 5.74, which is rather impressive. In T20 internationals, however, his economy rate shoots up to 8.25 but by modern standards, it is not too high.
